Summer is the perfect time to drive with the windows down playing your favorite songs or to just spend time listening to music with friends and family while enjoying the sunshine. No matter what you are doing this summer it's important to have the ultimate summer playlist that combines your favorite music, new hit songs, and fun beats that will get you dancing or mellowed out in no time.

In preparation for some good weather and July's celebrations, we asked our staff what their favorite summer jams were. We put them together to make a playlist that will kick start your summer. (Ocean Avenue by Yellowcard and Dancing Days by Led Zeppelin are two of my personal favorites with their catchy lyrics that get stuck in your head all day they keep you in a summer state of mind!)
